Jacob F. DeVaughan

This information is gathered from various sources, it is the most complete information, I have been able to come up with. As you can see, some data is different, and is subject to interpretation. Feel free to add or subtract from this. I would appreciate you letting me know first though so we can discuss it. (Bobby)

Note; after the finding of Jacob and his family in Sunflower, Miss. census in 1870, by others, I personally went through all the names listed in the 1880 census of Sunflower and Laflore counties and could not locate Jacob & Mary DeVaughan. Where they went is presently unknown. (Bobby-3/28/2017)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After the U.S. Civil War, across several decades African Americans migrated to Sunflower County to work in the Mississippi Delta. In 1870, 3,243 black people lived in Sunflower County. This increased to 12,070 in 1900, making up 75% of the residents in Sunflower County. Between 1900 and 1920, the black population almost tripled.[2] History.

When Sunflower county was created in 1844, McNutt was made its seat of justice.

Leflore County was formed in 1871 from portions of Carroll, Sunflower and Tallahatchie counties. It was named for Greenwood Leflore, a Choctaw chief, who was one of the signers of the Treaty of 1830, by the terms of which the Choctaws sold all their lands east of the Mississippi River. Many of them migrated to the Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), but Leflore himself remained, becoming a planter, and at times a politician.

They did not die in 1863, in Alabama as was previously reported. what happened to them after this 1870 census is unknown. Only known fact is that Zedoc and Andrew, went on to Independence, co. ark., where their sister Sarah Elizabeth (Gallie) and her husband Andrew Jackson Pike, had moved to. There, Zedoc met and married Mary Jane Dunnagan, in Oct of 1880.

This information taken from the book by Jerry Jones. "The DeVaughan Story"

The children of Freeman M. DeVaughan, including my grandfather, continued on to Independence County, Arkansas. Arriving in the area of Sulphur Rock, Arkansas in about 1878. The DeVaughans settled in. In 1880 the author's grandfather took Miss Mary Jane Matilda Dunnagan for his bride and moved her into a brand new log house that he and his brothers had built. The construction was from logs cut on the property, and building was done by my grandfather Zedoc Freeman Richard. or Dick as he was called, his younger brother Andrew Jackson, or Jack, and his older brother, Elijah Allen, who was known as Lige. There Dick and Jack remained, but Lige, in a few years, moved on to Ellis County, Texas. The older sister, Sarah Elizabeth, or Gallie as she was called, remained in Suphur Rock until her death in 1890. Her husband Andrew Jackson Pike died there a few years before 1890, in a cotton gin explosion. Dick. my grandfather, and his wife had eleven children in that little log house, which had been expanded twice prior to 1901. When Dick died in 1901 he left a widow with several small children and no one to run the farm. In 1905 she. along with several other family members. boarded the train in nearby Newark, Arkansas. and left for Dallas County, Texas. They landed in Mesquite,, settled with some relatives near New Hope (a small village east of Dallas) and proceeded to have two crop failures. In 1907 they got on the train again, bound for what was about to become the new state of Oklahoma. and arrived in Comanche County, Oklahoma on statehood day, 1907. Dick DeVaughan's widow had, of course, along with other relatives. accompanied the group to Oklahoma Territory. She died there in 1935. No doubt there may be other stories of the DeVaughans who moved west after the Civil War. Only one more will be briefly mentioned here. It relates to one of the daughters of old

Samuel's son, Elijah, who settled in Georgia. He died in Georgia long before the war started but his children and his widow did not miss the ravages of the march of Sherman to the sea. One of his daughters, Jane, who married John Allen, left after the War with her husband and moved to east Texas. John had been implicated in a very serious way in the killing of Union General McPherson, and his life was in danger. So his escape was not debatable and he and Jane left for Texas. The DeVaughan name is registered on the rolls of every war that has been a part of the history of America. A few were involved in the Revolutionary War. One, James DeVaughan, of Prince George County, Maryland , crossed the Delaware River with George Washington, to participate in the surprise of the Hessians at the Battle of Trenton, in New Jersey. Some of Samuel DeVaughan's sons enlisted in the War of 1812. Many DeVaughans fought in the Civil War, and some gave their lives . At least one DeVaughan, and there may have been others, fought with Teddy Roosevelt in the Spanish-American War. That man was Virgil DeVaughan, son of Elijah Allen DeVaughan. Virgil's father, as previously mentioned, served in the Civil War. Virgil, his three brothers Robert , George, and Odell, their mother and father. and other family members are buried in the old Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas cemetery. Virgil did not marry. He was, at one time, a member of the Ku Klux Klan and a law enforcement officer in Ellis County. George had two daughters. Odell had sons but none of them had sons. Robert had sons and grandsons. Only one great-grandson survives today and he is the last male DeVaughan descendant of the old Civil War veteran, Elijah Allen DeVaughan. His death will bring an end to the DeVaughan name in that particular line.
